between the thoroughbred and the Shire or
Clyde. 1t being an admitted fact that the
Norman horse has the best and stoutest
hoof of any large horse the world has vet
produced, it follows as natural conse-
quence that the French coach horse has
better and stronger hoof than even the
Cleveland bay, and is therefore better
adapted for busses express wagons and for
fast work on paved streets and hard roads
than any other horse ever bred. These an
imals are all superior specimens of the
class they represent, have a handsome,
rapid action, perfect disposition, and are
here to challenge comparison with any and
all corners.
sAMAR, WEIGHING 500 POUNDS.
The finest two-year- Hereford bull
ever exhibited in America, was calved May
4, 1885, and heads the herd of seventeen
exhibited by the Wyoming Hereford Asso-
citation, which continues to be the principal
attraction in the morning stock parades He
was sired by the celebrated bull Rudolph,
who never was once beaten in America in
open sweepstakes competition with all
breeds. Samar is short-legged, thick
muscled animal with wonderfully sprung
rib, mellow-heshed, capital thighs, back
straight and level. and with what skilled
| breeders pronounce grand Hereford head.
Samar's dam was one of the old Ivington
Rose strain. This celebrated COW won the
royal prize three years in succession in
England, and the Wyoming Hereford AS
ISOLATION own all the female descendants
from her now living and numbering 76,
some of which are here, the remainder
being on the farm some miles east of Chey-
enne. MIR. Morgan bought all OF this FAM
lily in 1888, and since then he has repeat
edly refused fabulous prices for members of
this family by parties who desired to have
them go back to England. Marsh, the
second bull is also a son of the great Ru-
dolph, and Storm King, the third animal,
IS grandson. Eleven COWS and heifers
show the best strains now bred, and
three handsome bull calves bring up
the rear. This herd makes an excellent
showing, and was particularly admired by
cattle-breeders, many of whom pronounced
1t the finest herd of beef cattle ever exhib-
| tied on these grounds. The general exca-
| nations in the grand stand were: What
short legs !" See their white faces p
What heavy flesh !'' and What mag
nificent coats of hair" By the way, this
latter quality is a desirability to be appre-
ciated, considering that these cattle are
raised and thrive without shelter on the
WINDY Western plains, and only such food
as they forage from the vast prairies These
cattle are ali registered in the American
ann English Herd Book" and catalogues
containing pedigrees can be had at the
stalls. ANY person desiring special in
formation in regard to this breed of stock,
or of purchasing young Hereford bulls,
will find it to his advantage to consult Geo.
+. Morgan, the General Manager of the
Association, and who can always be found
on the grounds.
